Summary
As Seneca wrote: “Associate with people who are likely to improve you. The process is a mutual one: men learn as they teach.”
💡 Modern Stoics are parents, athletes, entrepreneurs, soldiers, artists, students. They are busy, curious, principled people who want to do more than talk about virtue—they want to live it. And they want to do it with others who share that aim. Join The Daily Stoic Life community today: dailystoic.com/life
